Course List

UCFID:

Your UCFID is your Personal Identification Number (7-digits, no letters). Your UCFID is the key to accessing online registration, class schedule searches, adding or dropping classes, and a lot of other functions, including viewing your grades and fee schedules. You will be asked to select a password when you first are assigned your UCFID. You may change your password at any time.

NID:

Your NID is your Network Identification Number (2 letters and 6 digits). Your NID is the key to accessing the UCF computer network, the Internet, the library, and a world of cyber information. This number is also generated for you when you become a student at UCF for the first time. Again, you need to select and register a password that you may change at any time.

Modes of Instruction: https://cdl.ucf.edu/support/student/modalities/

Instructional mode refers to the way your course will be taught, whether this is entirely online through Webcourses@UCF or face-to-face in a classroom. To find out what instructional mode your course is, first find your course in the UCF Schedule of Classes (see above) and then click on the details of your course. You can access the details by clicking on the “Class” or “Section”.

• WEB-BASED: Courses are online conducted via flexible, asynchronous Web-based instruction and collaboration using various technologies. Some courses may require minimal campus attendance or in-person/proctored examinations.
• VIDEO: Courses are online with extensive use of digital video, which may be supplemented by additional online activity, projects, or exams.
• MIXED MODE: Courses include both required classroom attendance and online instruction in a blended format. In-person classroom activities are more than 20% of the instructional time during the semester.
• LIMITED ATTENDANCE: Courses are primarily online in a blended format combining required face-to-face and online elements. In-person classroom activities may use up to 20% of the instructional time during the semester.
• FACE-TO-FACE: Courses have required classroom attendance and meet on a regularly scheduled basis in person. Students may encounter online, video, or adaptive elements as part of the instruction, thus requiring a computer.

Before you register, there are a few things you need to do to make the process go smoothly.
